Filter by:Recently, Integrative Cognitive-Affective Therapy (ICAT), a novel intervention for bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) that targets emotion regulation deficits, has shown promise in reducing eating disorder symptoms as well as improving emotion regulation capacities in adults. However, this treatment has not been investigated in an adolescent sample. Given the contributing role of emotion regulation in adolescent eating disorder symptoms and limited treatment options for adolescents with BN and BED, the aim of this study is to adapt the existing adult ICAT treatment for adolescents with clinically significant binge eating (ICAT-A) and to evaluate the extent to which ICAT-A is helpful in reducing binge eating and associated eating disorder symptoms in a younger sample.
The overall aim of this pilot study is to conduct a preliminary trial to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of adding a transdiagnostic, emotion-focused group intervention (the Unified Protocol, UP) to treatment as usual (TAU) in a comprehensive outpatient program for adolescents and young adults with substance use disorders and emotional distress. Only patients seeking services or engaged in care at an existing outpatient program at MGH (the Addiction Recovery Management Service) are eligible for participation.
The objective of the study is to determine whether poor control of asthma is related to an emotional deficit such as alexithymia. The hypothesis is that there is a correlation between the severity of asthma, its control, and the degree of emotional deficits.
The primary aim of the current proposal is to test the acceptability and feasibility of a group-based transdiagnostic treatment, termed Safety Aid Reduction Treatment (START), delivered to rural Veterans. The anticipated results of the proposed study include: 1) START will be both acceptable and feasible to Veterans and mental health care providers, alike and 2) START will lead to meaningful reductions in symptoms of anxiety and depression.
The present study aims at evaluating the effects of a CBT intervention, a cultural adaptation of the Unified Protocol for the Trans-diagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) in victims of the Colombian armed conflict. A randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effects of the UP in a group of 100 internally displaced victims of armed conflict living in Bogotá is being implemented. Participants are recruited from several governmental, non-governmental agencies as well as community organizations of victims. Participants are being randomly assigned to treatment condition (N=50) or to waiting-list control (N=50). Treatment consists in 12 biweekly sessions covering the 8 modules of the original UP. The effects of the UP is evaluated through Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) and several measures of co-morbid emotional disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD as well as level of functioning and quality of life.
The purpose of this protocol is to employ single case analytic strategies, including a multiple baseline design and novel modeling techniques to identify changes in cross-cutting features of emotional disorders as well as emotional disorder symptoms during the implementation of The Unified Protocol for the Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A). The first aim is to investigate relationships between the use of UP-A treatment components and changes in measures of cross-cutting features of emotional disorders. The second aim is to investigate when and how reductions in symptoms of emotional disorders and presenting problems (i.e., symptoms of anxiety and depression, severity of presenting problems) occur throughout treatment.
The present randomized, controlled trial will compare the cost-efficacy and acceptability of the Unified Protocol in group format against traditional individual Cognitive Behavioral Treatment in a sample of patients with emotional disorders. Ultimately, the goal of the current study is to explore whether the Unified Protocol in group format can be a cost-effective psychological intervention for emotional disorders in the Spanish National Health System, that is, one that generates long-lasting changes in symptoms, while reducing both direct and indirect economic costs associated with the treatment of emotional disorders.
This multicenter study is a sequential RCT which aims to prove, in the first stage, the efficacy of a face-to-face Positive Psychotherapy in Cancer (PPC) group compared to a Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) group. In the second stage, the common face-to-face version of the PPC will be compared with its online version via videoconference (Online group Positive Psychotherapy, OPPC) among a group of primary breast cancer survivors. The principal dependent variables assessed will be emotional distress, post-traumatic growth (PTG) and quality of life (QoL). Some treatment predictors of psychosocial response will be explored. Lastly, an economic analysis focused on the Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) will be carried out at each stage. For the first stage, we hypothesize that the PCC group would achieve similar efficacy in reducing participants' distress compared to the CBSM group, while the PCC group would show greater improvement in PTG than the CBSM group. For the second stage, it is hypothesized that the OPCC would achieve similar efficacy in all psychosocial variables and guarantee equivalent retention and adherence compared to face-to-face PPC.
